Hi all

[entropicp]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I've been playing off and on for about 10 years now (even though I still suck).

I'm into playing math rock, stoner, post-rock, some metal, some hardcore, noise etc.

Right now I'm playing an Epiphone T-Bird through a Blackstar HT-5 guitar combo at home. Also have an MIA Fender J-Bass which is marooned at my parents house in the USA

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "math rock"???

[entropicp]

Sorry for taking soooo long to get back to your question. I was away for the weekend. Math rock is sort of a sub-genre of indie rock with a lot of complex riffs and odd time signatures (hence math rock). It can be but isn't always harsh and noisy. Bands to check out would be Slint, Shellac, Battles, Oxes, Don Caballero, LITE from Japan to name a few. Hardcore bands with a math rock element include Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch and Converge.

Maybe check out wikipedia for a better explanation.
